Sterling was the retired owner of Elliott’s Repair Shop. He was always willing to help and never met a stranger. The saying is “If Sterling couldn’t fix it… throw it away.” He enjoyed playing poker, shooting pool, fishing, camping, boating, and hanging out with family and friends. As a Tennessee Squire he loved hanging around with his good friend “Jack”! The family asks to please stop by Sterling and June’s home, 200 W. Fifth Avenue, Kenbridge, on Thursday, February 2, 2023 anytime between 3PM to 7PM to celebrate Sterling’s life.
